He co-founded Factory Records and The Hacienda, he kick-started Joy Division, Happy Mondays and New Order and he was the inspiration for 24 Hour Party People. From a childhood growing up with a gay father and a domineering mother to his tragic death in 2007 after battling the NHS for a drug that could prolong his life, David Nolan investigates the man they called 'Mr Manchester'. Drawing on interviews with musicians, DJs, writers, actors, family and friends - including Wilson's partner Yvette Livesey - Nolan paints a picture of a driven, chaotic man whose influence is still felt today in music and television.  Everybody knows the legend - Tony Wilson spent a lifetime creating it - for the first time, here's the truth.","brand":"John Blake Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771554398551,"sku":"9781844549900","price":14.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781844549900.jpg?v=1758728251","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/tony-wilson-youre-entitled-to-an-opinion-9781844549900","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
